Sony Ericsson has announced the extension of an on-board TCP/IP stack across its family of GSM/GPRS M2M products, further facilitating the development of cost-effective machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. With this, says the company, users will be able to maximise the benefits of GPRS data communications (always on/always connected) across a variety of wireless data applications including point-of-sale, telemetry, and Internet applications.
On-board TCP/IP is already available in the company's GR and GT product ranges, and now also available in the GM product range (GM28/29 and GM47/48). Sony Ericsson's implementation of TCP/IP directly onto its GSM/GPRS M2M products means that system integrators will no longer be required to develop and implement their own TCP/IP stack. This allows them to focus on simplified application development and on how they can use their chosen M2M product to add value to their core business. It represents a paradigm shift in the ease of use of GPRS data communications by incorporating all the connection protocols necessary for a user to quickly and seamlessly get connected to the Internet.
Sony Ericsson has addressed these challenges by implementing an on-board TCP/IP solution into its M2M products such that an external implementation is no longer required. All that is required is that the system integrator provides some basic subscription data. The socket interface allows for easy sending and receiving of data under AT-command control so even existing applications can quickly be upgraded to include TCP/IP. This feature is also available through embedded applications with the use of M2Mpower, a support environment designed to facilitate the development of cost-effective wireless M2M applications.
